. (a) Each interstate user shall prepare and file with the
board a return in the form as prescribed by the board, which may
include, but not be limited to, electronic media showing the amount
of diesel fuel used during the quarterly reporting period by the
interstate user in this state, the amount of any tax due, and any
other information as the board may require for the administration of
this part. The return shall be filed with the board on or before the
last day of the calendar month following the close of the quarterly
period to which it relates, together with a remittance payable to the
board of the amount of tax due. To facilitate the administration of
this part, the board may require the filing of returns for other than
quarterly periods. Returns shall be authenticated in a form or
pursuant to methods as may be prescribed by the board.
(b) An interstate user subject to the tax imposed by Section 60115
shall be allowed a credit against the amount of tax due on his or
her return for an amount equal to the tax imposed by Section 60115 on
diesel fuel purchased in this state in that same return period for
use in the operation of a qualified motor vehicle. No credit shall be
allowed unless the tax imposed by Section 60050 and the taxes
imposed by Part 1 (commencing with Section 6001) and Part 1.5
(commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code and Section 35 of Article XIII of the California
Constitution have been paid upon the purchase of the diesel fuel by
the interstate user to a diesel vendor in this state. When the amount
of the credit for any return period exceeds the amount of tax due
for the return period, the excess shall be allowed as a credit
against the amount of tax due for succeeding reporting periods or
shall be refunded.
(c) Credits and refunds allowed pursuant to subdivision (b) shall
be charged against the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account to the extent the
total amount of credits and refunds allowed to all taxpayers for the
fiscal year does not exceed the combined amounts due under
subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 60115. To the extent the total
amount of credits and refunds allowed to all taxpayers for the fiscal
year pursuant to subdivision (b) exceeds the combined amounts due
under subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 60115, the credits and
refunds shall be charged against the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account as to
the amount of the credits and refunds established under subdivision
(a) of Section 60115 and shall be charged against the Retail Sales
Tax Fund as to the amount of the credits and refunds established
under subdivision (b) of Section 60115.
